Erk Crawl: 20th August 2011

2011-08-16T09:20:00.002+01:00

For those of you who don't know this already, Aussie podcaster, Erk, has been travelling in Europe and he'll be in London for an Erk-Crawl on Saturday 20th August. A few of us will be joining him. If you want to come along then here's the plan:

Cafe Lido at 11am for those that want brunch

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=London+W1G+0HY,+United+Kingdom&aq=0&sll=51.016559,-0.092173&sspn=0.008437,0.026157&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=London+W1G+0HY,+United+Kingdom&z=16&iwloc=A&ved=0CA8QpQY&sa=X&ei=vdhITquJBMzOjgebnK2fCw

The Argyll Arms at 12noon for those that prefer a liquid lunch!

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=argyll+arms&aq=0&sll=51.51558,-0.141492&sspn=0.008012,0.026157&ie=UTF8&hq=argyll+arms&hnear=&z=16&iwloc=A&ved=0CDkQpQY&sa=X&ei=sY5HTvLDC5TU8QPbhKSWCA

After that I suggest we do the usual and tweet using the #podcrawl hashtag, so late arrivals can follow us, or call Codger, Clithers or Rowley. No doubt we will end up in The Pillars of Hercules at some point.

The next Podcrawl 2011

2011-04-06T10:24:00.000+01:00

The next podcrawl will be on the 21st May 2011 in London.
There is a facebook event at http://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=113354708743720, and of course everyone is welcome.

Actual venues have still to be scoped, but I'll keep you posted here and there.

Post Podcrawl Nonsense....

Reet fine day in't Yorshire yesterday. Here's a little vid for those who were not there!

Podcrawl Itinerary

2010-10-19T22:20:00.002+01:00

So, here is the itinerary for the Sheffield Podcrawl on Saturday 23 October.
This is more solid than "provisional", but is subject to change at any time.

Dave and Caroline will be at Sheffield railway station from about 10:30 on the Saturday morning, where the first of our long-distant comrades will be arriving between 10:45 and 11:00.

As the Codger will be absolutely gagging for a hot drink of the caffeinated variety on arrival, we will be heading over to the Showroom Cafe at about 11:30, only a short walk from the railway station. [map]

We will spend some quality time there, until the next batch of reprobates arrive at the railway station around midday.

From there, at about 13:00, we will be moving on to The Devonshire Cat on Wellington Street [map], from where we will probably waste the remainder of the day, sampling their somewhat extensive range of draught and bottled beers.

Because of the number of people who are travelling in from far away places, people will probably start leaving around 19:00 on the Saturday evening. Fear not, however as at least 5 of us are actually bedding down in Sheffield overnight, so the evening need not end quite so early.

So in summary:

From about 10:30 at Sheffield railway station
From about 11:30 at the Showroom Cafe
From about 13:00 at The Devonshire Cat

If we have your mobile number, we'll keep you posted with any changes to the above. If we don't, leave us a comment below and we'll get in touch.

I've switched comments OFF on this blog due to the distressing frequency with which Chinese/Japanese spam is being posted here. They were pretty much the ONLY comments...

If you have something you want to post here, you probably already know Grumbler, Codger, Clithers or Rowley, so please contact one of them...

Not long now till the London Podcrawl!

Professionalism completely thrown out of the window this time with some interviews with the hosts of Made in the UK after some alcohol was consumed for Podcrawl. Thanks to Adnams for sponsoring the event. There is expletives throughout, and so not entirely safe for work, but safe for headphones.

Pics from Podcrawl November 2009

2009-11-22T18:59:00.009Z

Here's a few photos from the November 2009 London Podcrawl. There's a few very dodgy moustaches in the pictures because a few of us were fundraising for prostate cancer during"Movember"... http://uk.movember.com/mospace/399422

The event was also partly sponsored by our favourite beer Adnams Broadside who helped us tweet about the podcrawl as went went along, and also gave us some drinking shirts!

It's #podcrawl tomorrow, and last time we managed to drink The Pillars of Hercules dry of our favourite tipple - Adnams Broadside.

Well it seems the nice people at Adnams have heard about the #podcrawl and are going to deliver us a few drinking shirts tomorrow morning.

Who knows what might happen at the next #podcrawl next year!

Contrary to Dave's statement on his latest Bugcast, the starting point of Podcrawl has NOT changed.
It's still The Argyll Arms, starting around Noon.

Podcrawlers grow a Mo in Movember

2009-11-07T13:15:00.002Z

Thanks to a challenge by Peter Chitheroe, over at Suffolk and Cool, to grow a mo (moustache) during the month of Movember (gettit?) , a few of us have decided to join in to raise awareness of men's health issues, like prostate cancer.

This even includes Mr Rowley Cutler, who, despite already having a beard and goatee, has decided to shave it all off and start again for charity!

With Podcrawl coming up in only two weeks (21st Movember) I dare say some of us will come up with some very poor efforts, but it will be a laugh and we'll give it a try. No doubt there will be photographs as we go along and some serious p*ss-taking!

If you'd like to donate to the team's cause then click on the picture above or here! Many thanks.

Yes peeps, we've confirmed the date and have lots of potential attendees to the fourth London podcrawl.

Here's the plan (so far)....

Start at:
Argyll Arms, Garrick St (near oxford st tube)
The Cock, Portland Street (we went here on the first PC)
The Champion, Wells St.
Black Horse, rathbone place (tested)
Wheatsheaf Rathbone Place (we went here on the second PC).
Rising sun (or Jack Horner), TCR (both untested) (we might lose
Clithers and Gugenheim if we stay too long on TCR)
The Tottenham (Oxford Street)

Finish at:
Pillars of Hercules (Soho)
or onto
The Shakespeare (Carnaby Street, again went here on the first PC)
finish at Argyll before last trains.

Googlemap to Hercules roughly looks like this:

Closer...

2009-04-01T15:36:00.002+01:00

Its getting closer now...

Montagu Pike in Charing Chross Road, with people dribbling in from about 11am onwards. (They do a decent coffee for those with 'sun over the yard arm' issues.)

Attractions to include some recording for AMPED. Coffee. Skype conversations with the geographically challenged. Silliness. Beer. Daft hats.

What more could you wish for?

Picures will, of course, be posted on this site afterwards...

Podcrawl Beer Selection

2009-03-08T18:13:00.002Z

I've just looking looking at what will be available for the Podcrawl...

And who'd have thought what an impressive selection there would be to chose from?

Try the locally brewed MIUK for a mixture of three types of hops. Or perhaps, the sometimes bland, but often refreshing AMP to quench your thirst?

How about a pint of Old Ourbouros? That's the one from the west country with the bits of twigs in. Or try a glass of Dark Compass porter for a longer lasting flavour?

Bright sparks might like the Electrical Language beer, but the grumpy old men amongst you will love a pint of Grumblers old Moo. If you like your beer cool then head off for a pint of Clither's Old Peculiar, or the nearby JG brewery for a bottle of blonde G-spot?

Finally, perhaps only for those of you already too drunk to care, try PCP's Rocket Fuel. That'll keep you regular in t'mornin'.

PodCrawl 2009. What's your favourite?

On yer bike...

2009-03-06T19:45:00.003Z

We've established the day... 4th April it is.

And we'll kick off at the Montagu Pike in Charing Cross Road.

A fearsome array of Ales to be had, so why was it that last time we met there several old duffers (Grumbler included) kicked off with a coffee? Shameful!

So lets see you there?

London Podcrawl - April 4th

2009-03-03T13:10:00.002Z

OK folks, the date is set for the next London Based Podcrawl - It'll be Saturday 4th April, with details on location and start time yet to be announced. Doubtless we'll twitter about it too for anyone who cant make the start.

Watch this space for further details, and please use the comment features on the blog to drop us an eamil address if you're interested in joining us.

Note that we havent given up on a crawl further afield, its just that so far its proven a bit dificult to arrange.

Cheers, Grumbler et al...

A Wail of a Time

2008-12-02T20:52:00.000Z

First posted on The Grumbler - January 16th 2008

It’s a grim Tuesday morning, and I’m huddled in a crusty, rusty, freezing-cold and rattling old train – peering through the steamed-up windows I can see sheets of rain lashing mercilessly against the steel grey landscape. I’m heading towards London, and I’m assaulted by a wave of memories of a score or so years ago, when my younger and less curmudgeonly self dragged itself into the capital for work every day. I thank a veritable host of deities (including Jah, Shiva and Catweazle) that I don’t have to do that any more – the very idea makes the tarnished remnants of my soul shrivel inside me. I wonder if Beelzebub likes prunes?

There’s another difference in the journeys now and then… 20 years ago I was comfortably numbed by cassettes of Pink Floyd played on my trusty Walkman. Now, I’m being shocked awake by a bewildering assortment of fantastic new music via a series of Podcasts on my iPod.

This journey has an undeniably more palatable purpose than work. I’m going to meet with my old mate Pete ‘Codger’ Cogle, host of PC Podcast, and three other podcasters - Peter ‘the Kid’ Clitheroe from Suffolk ‘n Cool; Rowley Cutler from Dark Compass and Colin Gazely from Ourobouros.

I’ve not had the chance to meet these last three guys before, but I’ve been listening to them for long enough that they already seem familiar to me – an odd situation, because (even if they’ve been reading my blog) I’ll likely be an unknown quantity as far as they are concerned. By lunchtime, this is no longer a concern to me; we’re all sitting comfortably in the Sussex in Covent Garden, each with a pint of (hideously expensive) Spitfire ale, yapping away like we’ve all known each other for years. I venture to suggest that if a bunch of whales is called a ‘pod’, then the collective noun for podcasters ought to be a Wail - and this meets with general approval. Mind you, with the amount of cackling going on, an external observer might have chosen a ‘coven’.

I wont bore you with a transcript of our drunken ramblings, though I have to award quote of the day to Mr Clitheroe who, when I told him I had listened to his entire ‘back catalogue’, informed us that he’r rather go through the Codger’s back passage than through his back catalogue…

You can see us at the top of this post and, provided that the Codger managed to hit the record button at some point during the day, you can probably hear us on PC Podcast (Wednesday 23rd, I would imagine).

A little review of the podcasts themselves won’t go amiss here…

Dark Compass – despite Rowley’s site getting a vast number of hits from people searching for ‘Golden Compass’ and ‘Dark Materials’, his compass is more like Captain Jack Sparrow’s – it's useless if you want to find North, but it will point you at your heart’s desire (no, its not Pirate Radio). Try it, you’ll like it. Rowley’s been at this the longest of this wail, and he’s soon coming up for show number three hundred.

PC Podcast – an eclectic mix of music presented by a sixteen year-old music freak trapped in the body of a forty-something year old beermonster. Living proof of the restorative effects of Adnams Broadside (or was it vodka and creosote?), Pete’s been delighting his listener(!) with some great tunes, twice a week, for two years now. He’s dragged me kicking and screaming into to French-Canadian Punk gigs and calmed me down again with Cornish bagpipe dub reggae amongst other things, and was once silly enough to let me hijack his podcast (though he didnt actually tell me until afterwards - trust me, it was complicated, and I was drunk). I’m not sure if his listening figures have recovered yet…

Suffolk ‘n Cool (cultural note for American English speakers: say it fast, and remember that ‘Suffolk’ might be written phonetically as ‘Suffuk’) – a similar mix to PC Podcast, musically, with the occasional ‘curve ball’ as a result of Peter’s Puckish Podcasting Personality (sorry, can’t resist a bit of gratuitous alliteration). Peter C has been ‘at it’ almost exactly the same length of time as Pete C (oh bugger it - see why it’s the Codger and the Kid now?) the two having presented their first episodes within a day of each other. Now, heaven forbid that I should pshychoanalyse, but I wonder if the Kid’s compensating for Codger having gone live a day before him when he trumpets all those Suffolk ‘n Cool first plays? Peter’s autobiographical notes on his website tell us how he preogressed from ‘rodie’ to ‘knob twiddler’. Fittingly, he’s about to knock out his 100th emission. In a manner of speaking.

Colin’s Ouroborous Podcast is named after a legendary Greek serpent (no, NOT Phillip) which swallows its own tail – a symbol for infinity. Colin says (quite rightly) that there’s an infinite amount of good music ‘out there’ and has made it his mission to bring you some of it. His podcast is the youngest of the four, but it’s no less likely to deliver you some sounds that you’ll love – his own enthusiasm for that music certainly shows through.

You know, there are days when I’m quite happy having nothing to grumble about!

Just not that many ;-)

And it's not just beer.....

2008-12-02T10:07:00.000Z

Just in case there are a couple of you, more sensible and sober individuals out there*, the term podcrawl does rather conjour up images of helplessly drunk men talking complete ~~bollocks~~ twaddle.

Let it be know that we will gladly entertain the possibility of less drunken pursuits. We started off the last crawl with a coffee as I recall, so maybe a Podoccino (grande, full fat, double shot, naturally) rather than a podcrawl?

* then again, if you're reading this, you either are or frequent with podcasters, so I'm not sure you can be considered sensible or sober.

What's this PodCrawl Site for then?

2008-12-01T18:55:00.000Z

This site is dedicated to the original PodCrawl... and more excitingly, perhaps, those yet to come...

First conceived as a small celebration between Peter Clitheroe, Pete Cogle and Rowley Cutler to mark the serendipitous and simultaneous 100th, 200th and 300th episodes of Suffolk'n'Cool, PC Podcast and Dark Compass shows respectively, the event growed a bit, like Topsy, to become a more inclusive gathering. Well, actually it just gathered in a couple more souls:

a reprobate blogger who was, at the time, vaguely anonymous and hiding under the pseudonym of the Grumbler who's twisted and evil intention was to catalogue the events, and who was later referred to by the Clitheroe Kid as Codger Cogle's Care in the Community Chap, in an entirely inappropriate orgiastic outburst of accidental alliteration.
another podcaster of infinite musical good taste who, if he were possessed of a tail, would doubtless bite it (in the just and righteous cause of reality imitating art) - Colin Gazely from the Ouroborous podcast. (editors note - Colin's lack of tail is not entirely germane to the story and is, in any case, a presumption - though we are reasonably confident that its an accurate one)

Much fun was had by all (as will be indicated in another posting when time permits) and there were some far-reaching consequences. Oh boy were there. The grumbler, having seen first hand what it takes to be a podcaster and having had his identity 'outed' by the Codger (who luckily has absolutely no Idea who Top Gear's 'Stig' really is) decided to start his own show - Music and Mumblings, and adopt the bizarre practice of writing about himself in the third person.

Time - as it is wont to do unless you are a quantum physicist with an ambition to make your mark in the field - passed. We decided to 'do it again' - not for any grand reason this time, but because it was so much fun. The same crew reconvened, this time as five podcasters, along with Mr Clitheroe's minder who claimed to be called Keith. In fact, his real name is Jeremy Gugenheim - a morsel of information which was destined to be made public as soon as the Codger (whose tongue is looser than the morals of a cat) found out.

The second event was every bit as much fun as the first and, exhibiting 'balance' which would satisfy the most pedantic sufferer of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Jeremy has become a podcaster too. Nearly. I say Nearly because, even though he started his first episode some time ago, it is sadly yet to emerge from its cocoon, blinking, into the full glare of the noonday sun - despite its creator's full and certain knowledge that there are many many many (well, five) people waiting eaglerly to feast their ears upon its bounty.

This site's objectives are simple.

To provide a virtual meetingplace for PodCrawl participants to engage in the planning of future debauchery.
To act as a repository for reviews, pictures and scurrilous gossip related to all previous PodCrawls.
To promote PodCrawls and encourage others, perhaps geographically challenged, to hold their own events and relate their tales here.

More postings will be forthcoming. In the meantime, this is an audience participation wossname. Lets have some comments, Ladies and Gentlemen!
